    Round large volume of data to 4 decimal places

    Hi all,

    I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this with the paste-special function.


    I have a reasonably large volume of data - about 2,000 rows and 22 columns.

    The columns all contain various percentages with differing decimal places - some up to a dozen decimal places coming from an external source.

    There are no links - the percentages are all hard coded.

    I want to change all the percentages to a number with four decimal places. I can use a round function and do it one column at a time but I'm pretty sure I'll have the same problem in several other renditions of the file so am looking for a quicker way to copy and paste numbers to four decimal places.

    You can do 1 simple thing -

    1) On the 23rd Column, use the round function, and drag the formula down and across.

    2) Once you have your data, paste special values on the 1st-22nd columns.

    3) Get rid of the helper columns (23rd Onwards)

    I dont think this should take you more than 20-30 seconds...
    Cheers!
